summer events on the north shore

North Shore Events

Each small town celebrates nature, arts and history, the great outdoors, local and regional talents, holidays and community. And you’re invited to join in. This North Shore Calendar of Events lists all kinds of goings-on; guided hikes, 99-mile bike races, fine art exhibits, pie-eating contests, solstice celebrations, historical talks, workshops, classes, summer festivals, small town parades, and the annual lighting of Split Rock Lighthouse.

Ride the Shore 2025

Date: July 18, 2024 - July 19, 2024

Time: All Day

Location: Silver Bay Shopping Center

Event Description

Ride The Shore 2025 is gonna be the BEST RTS yet! We’re excited to have our official pre-planned night ride and will be venturing out a little further for this year’s Selfie Stations! There is no registration cost and no definite route you must travel, there is no maximum or minimum distance you must ride, this is a free ride weekend where the trails are yours to explore with friends and family.

We will have a map printed with the Minnesota ATV Riders’ “Selfie Station Tour’ that will help you see all the scenic spots you won’t want to miss! With literally hundreds of miles of trails to explore, be sure to prepare yourself for a full weekend of fun and adventure. So if you’re into exploring old abandoned mobster hangouts, or want to skip rocks on the big lake from the shoreline of Black Beach, maybe you get excited to stand on the edge of what dubbed “The Little Grand Canyon” 150′ rock face overlooking Hockamin Creek, or take in some panoramic views of lake Superior from the Blue Jay Vista overlook, or if you are one that just likes to hang out by a bubbling stream and listen to the water flow of one of the many rivers and waterfalls, Ride The Shore will provide all of that serenity and excitement.
